ACTIVITY 1: Identifying Poetry Elements
Directions: Read the following poem and identify the elements listed below.

THE SWING
The swing set creaks, a rusty groan,
As I push off, soaring alone.
The wind whispers secrets in my ear,
As I rise higher, banishing fear.

The world shrinks below, a tiny speck,


As I reach for the sky, a joyful trek.
The sun warms my face, a golden glow,
And I swing back and forth, to and fro.
